Re: RFE - Enhance CL/ILE CALLPRC command to support External Programs

Why would you use CALLP in RPG? It has been obsolete for twenty years. It
does not return values.. You simply prototype and call the prototype. That
can be a procedure or a program.

As I have said before, one of the things I don't like about IBM is that
they do not deprecate features in the language when they are obsolete.

I wonder if there is a misunderstanding here - I see that you say CALLPRC
in CLLE is analogous to CALLP in RPGLE - actually I don't believe it is
-CALLP is not Call Procedure - it is "Call a Prototyped Procedure or
Program" - the P stands for "Prototyped".

Maybe because there is no prototyping capability in CL, this is what was
done. Maybe the RFE could ask for a DCL-PR kind of thing with a true CALLP
command.
